Yipin Tang

Chapter 455
Only three people knew what Li Er and Changsun Wuji said, so Li Er and Changsun Wuji naturally wouldn't say it, and Chen Gui didn't dare to speak nonsense.

After the discussions in the Taiji Palace ended, both Wu Wangfu and Wei Wangfu became lively. It was a certainty that the crown prince would be abolished, so the appointment of a new crown prince was inevitable. Now only Wu Wang and Wei Wang are eligible to compete for the position of crown prince. As soon as they poured their hearts, they immediately became active.

Fatty Li Tai has been very diligent in running the Lizheng Palace these few days, and he is also extremely courteous and filial to the Empress Changsun. How can such a shrewd person as the Empress Changsun not know Li Tai's careful thinking, but the pain in her heart is nothing compared to Li Chengqian's rebellion. Li Ershao didn't have the heart to think about other things, besides, she never interfered in political affairs, so naturally the appointment of the crown prince would not come forward.

But Li Tai persevered. Empress Changsun was his biological mother. He knew the position of Empress Changsun in Li Er's heart. Her words were more effective than anyone else.

In addition, he also sent people to the mansion of Changsun Wuji, which can be regarded as fully prepared. His biological mother is the queen, his uncle is the head of the courtiers, and the little fat man has been loved by Li Er since he was a child. It is imperative.

In comparison, Li Ke's background is not as good, but Li Ke's daily behavior is more modest and stable than Li Tai, and his appearance is extraordinary, so he has won the favor of many ministers, which is the most important bargaining chip in his hand.

What made him feel helpless was that the battle for the crown prince had reached the point where swords were on the verge of breaking out, but his mother concubine Concubine Yang refused to let him enter the palace to find her, and she had no intention of helping her at all. Watching Li Zhi frequently enter the palace to look for the eldest grandson queen Li Ke was anxious and resentful.

Just when he was anxious and anxious, news came from the palace that Concubine Yang was ill.

Li Ke's heart moved, he knew that it was Concubine Yang who had allowed him to enter the palace, so he immediately went into the palace with supplements to visit Concubine Yang.

When he arrived at Jiaoshu Hall, Li Ke was anxious to speak when he saw Concubine Yang. Concubine Yang coughed twice before he reacted, and waved away the people in the hall. Don't let your ministers enter the palace?"

After everyone in the palace retreated, Concubine Yang's illness disappeared completely, she stood up and sat on the couch and whispered: "This is why I let you enter the palace today."

Li Ke immediately nodded and listened, Concubine Yang whispered: "After today, you will not come into the palace until His Majesty formally appoints the crown prince. Not only that, you should also seldom interact with the ministers during this period."

Li Ke was shocked when he heard the words: "Why is this! The concubine mother knows that Li Tai's frequent visits to the palace to see the queen must be for the sake of the prince, and he even sent someone to the grandson's mansion to say. Could it be that the concubine mother does not want to Are you fighting for the crown prince?"

Concubine Yang shook her head and said, "The reason why I let you do this is for your crown prince."

Seeing Li Ke's puzzled face, Concubine Yang said: "The crown prince's rebellion against His Majesty just abolished his crown prince and relegated him to Qianwang. It can be seen that His Majesty still has deep feelings for the crown prince. If you behave to the crown prince at this time His enthusiasm will only displease His Majesty."

"But……"

Li Ke was about to speak, Concubine Yang interrupted, "You have to remember how Your Majesty ascended to the throne of God."

Everyone knows about the changes in Xuanwu Gate, and Li Ke immediately understood what Concubine Yang meant. Concubine Yang nodded and said, "Actually, the position of crown prince is useless, it all depends on your majesty's heart. , you must bear this in mind.”

Li Ke was already smart, and after listening to Concubine Yang's words, he had completely figured out the key points, nodded, and said, "Then I will thank guests behind closed doors from tomorrow?"

Concubine Yang shook her head and said: "There is no need to thank guests behind closed doors, you should go to the Prince's Mansion to visit the Prince more often, after all you are brothers."

Li Ke's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he sighed secretly that his mother and concubine were considerate. If the prince is abolished, he will lose power. It is possible to become one's own strength, and it really kills two birds with one stone.

Seeing that Li Ke understood what she meant, Concubine Yang smiled in relief.

"There is one more person you have to take good care of."

Li Ke asked suspiciously: "Who?" Hearing Concubine Yang's tone, it seemed that this person was more important than the prince, which surprised Li Ke very much.

"History of the Prince's Mansion."

"History of the prince's mansion?"

Concubine Yang was puzzled when she saw it, and she smiled, and said slowly, "That's Prince Xin, Marquis of Jiayuan."

"He!" Li Ke exclaimed, doubting: "Didn't the concubine mother say that the canonization of the crown prince is all based on the father's heart, and what others say is useless? Could it be that the prince's new words are more effective than the empress and the eldest grandson?"

He also tried to win over Wang Xiang at the beginning, but Wang Xiang has always turned a blind eye to his wining, and since Wang Xiang left Chang'an and went south to Xunzhou, he rarely saw him, so Li Ke didn't try to win over over time. I only think of him when I mention it.

Concubine Yang nodded and said: "This person's position in His Majesty's heart may not even be equal to that of the eldest grandson Wuji. The prince's rebellion will only be made as the king and he will contribute."

Li Ke was puzzled and said: "I heard that it was Changsun Wuji who interceded for the prince in the palace..."

Concubine Yang shook her head and said: "Before this, His Majesty asked Wang Zixin to go to the Prince's Mansion, and then discussed with him alone for a long time."

Hearing this, Li Ke already understood, shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that the seventh-rank Jiancheng who was running around in the harem with the palace walking badge bestowed by the emperor has grown so much."

"He has a good relationship with the prince and he is the chief of the prince's residence. After the prince's accident, he will often visit him. If he encounters it, he must take good care of it. Nowadays, there are many strange people in the world. His Majesty is relying more and more on him. He has to help the prince. Much easier."

……

After coming out of the palace, Li Ke followed Concubine Yang's wishes and had less contact with the court ministers, let alone the establishment of the crown prince, as if he didn't care about the position of the crown prince, but often went to the crown prince's mansion to chat with Li Chengqian.

Ever since Li Chengqian rebelled and was abolished as crown prince, the court officials and other princes avoided him. Only Li Zhi and Wang Xiang often came to visit him. Seeing that Li Ke did not fight for the position of crown prince, he comforted himself in Li Chengqian's heart. I was very moved, and I was a little embarrassed when I remembered how wary I was of Li Ke in the past.

Wang Xiang had a clear view of Li Ke's thoughts, but he didn't point it out, because he knew that everything Li Tai and Li Ke did was futile.

For a while, Li Tai ran around for the crown prince, but Li Ke had no intention of competing, and he was respectful, brotherly and harmonious with the brothers and friends shown by Li Chengqian and Li Zhi.

The support of Li Tai to be the crown prince in the Taiji Hall is getting louder and louder, but Li Er still has no clear candidate for the crown prince.

It is not appropriate for the crown prince to be suspended all the time, and when the Taiji Hall was discussing the affairs of the day, all the ministers talked about the appointment of the crown prince.Li Er nodded and asked Li Ke, King of Wu, Li Tai, King of Wei, and Li Zhi, King of Jin to go to the palace. Everyone knew that the crown prince might have a result today.
